Stefanik has waited for months on her nomination due to the House GOP's tiny margin. The Florida special elections are Tuesday, but the administration has gotten cold feet about its margin ahead of crucial votes.

  • Trump has privately expressed concern about the Florida special elections, according to a person familiar with his comments.
  • In FL-1, Republicans look on course to replace Gaetz with nominee Jimmy Patronis.
